I came in just looking for a bottle of balsamic vinegar to cook with and ended up having such a fun and unexpected experience. One of the staff members mentioned they had a variety of infused balsamic vinegars and kindly offered me a tasting. She brought out some bread and eight different flavors for me to try. everything from jalapeño to elderberry to raspberry basil. It was honestly such a cute moment. I felt like I was at a little tasting flight, but make it vinegar. I ended up going home with the white raspberry balsamic and zero regrets. Everyone was really friendly and attentive without being pushy. I also ordered a sandwich and chips while I was there and it was genuinely delicious!! Everything was super fresh, flavorful, and hit the spot. My only complaint is the sandwich was a little small for the price. I definitely could've gone for a bit more food. Still the overall experience made it worth it. Great service, chill patio setup, and such a unique experience. Will definitely be coming back.
Service was excellent. Making us comfortable on the deck overlooking the small view of the ocean and turning on the heater. Ambience was superb. We shared hummus with a nice selection of veggies, flat bread, and crostini. Good wine selection included "orange" wines for Susan. At over $15/6 oz we each only had one glass, escaping with just a $50.00 bill, including a smaller than deserved tip. Sorry but we're not printing our own money.
We were seeking a quick glass of wine in La Jolla and stumbled across this tiny storefront that seemed to feature olive oils. A small door sign touted an ocean view patio with a wine list. We followed the host downstairs onto a rickety patio where they set up wood tables with stools. Service was friendly and they offered a pretty comprehensive selection of small plates and beverages. We ordered a few plates with glasses of wine. Our charcuterie and cheese platter ($28) arrived with toasted baguette slices and crackers. More cheese than meat, but could have been much more interesting if the sole salami was sliced paper thin. It would be easier eat, share and give the impression of double the amount. An Arugula Spinach Salad with nuts and bits of apple was ample and shareable. Pesto Flat Bread (read pizza) was home made and was tasty. Lemon Oil was cursory. Although a dusting of fresh grated Parm, and a few pine nuts would have been appropriate garnishes. A Caprese Panini took some time to arrive, but it was toasty, seasoned and came with a handful of kettle chips. It's a sliver of a galley kitchen, so I could imagine the person heating, plating, slicing and counting olives could be slammed at any time before sunset when a party of 6 tries to make this dinner. Parts of the patio offered slivers of views of the Le Jolla Coastline depending where you sat. Esp when a few plus-sized Construction workers plant down on balcony stools and order a few bottles of White Zinfandel. Meh on touting an ocean view.
Little hidden gem! Loved the outdoor seating- intimate and quiet with a great view - amazing wine selection and delicious eats. Isabella was delightful (actually)- very knowledgeable, welcoming and attentive (but not overly). She also rocks a Marvin Gaye playlist and likes discussing books and music if a patron is so inclined. Edit: i had a dip duo - caramelized onion and goat cheese based on one of Isabella's recommendations (she didn't miss once) - delicious
This is a great place to stop and grab a little bite and wine when walking around La Jolla or waiting for dinner. We always make sure to stop by when in La Jolla. The wines have consistently been satisfying and they are always ready with a good recommendation if you can't decide. Do yourself a favor and also make sure to grab the bread and olive oil. It's delicious. Also, the patio is a great place to watch the ocean while having a nice conversation.
10/10 recommend. Our server Izzy was amazing! She made the whole experience so enjoyable. I'm not usually great at picking wine, but her suggestions were spot-on and exactly what we were looking for. Honestly, she made the night better just by being herself. Would definitely recommend to anyone!
Stopped by We Olive & Wine Bar and had a fantastic time. We grabbed a table with a perfect sunset view, snacked on the charcuterie tray, spicy honey pizza, and the bread with olive oil dip--all seriously tasty. We shared a bottle of the Syrah (Victoria's recommendation), and it was spot on. Speaking of Victoria--she was amazing. Super friendly, funny, and totally unfazed by our goofy energy. Big thanks to her for making the night even better!
This is a nice little wine bar where you can come, sip on a glass of wine, and enjoy a relaxing afternoon with an ocean-side view reading a book. If you are here with a group of 3-4, it's probably more worthwhile to buy a whole bottle than individual glasses (there were three of us and each of us had 2 glasses, which came out to be cheaper than if we each bought our own glass separately). We also tried their cheeseboard and bread, both of which were delicious. If you are in La Jolla taking a stroll, this wine bar is definitely not to be missed. They also sell a variety of olive oil, which I will certainly try the next time I am here.
After lunch at Dukes, the hotel said our room wasn't ready so we're walking down Prospect in La Jolla. We come across this very cool place that is in olive oil and wine bar! You had me right there. Plus, they celebrate Wine Wednesday and it was Wednesday. How do I not go in? We went in to kill some time and had the best time talking to people and having a glass of wine. In the end, we bought a fabulous Chardonnay and an equally fabulous champagne all discounted. It's what I love about Travel, is if you just wander you never know what you're gonna find and this was one of these occasions great people great place read more

Ugh I love this place. We stop in every time we're in La Jolla for a glass of wine or two and enjoy the view. Decent selection of wines and snack foods where you can sit and enjoy a beautiful sunset. read more

The view alone is 5 stars. This was probably one of my absolute favorite places in San Diego that we went. It's just so unique and so much fun. Honestly, skip appetizers at your dinner restaurant and get them here. Everything was so good! It's such a calming place to be. I loved it. read more

Great view with great food and wine! Nice, relaxed atmosphere with a view to the ocean. Charcuterie, dips, and flatbread were excellent. Service was attentive without being pushy. Pick the right wine and linger here a while! read more
Awesome views and scenery, great decor, fantastic wine list, great location, awesome food. Their caprese salad and the prosciutto wrapped dates are great. Their flatbreads are great too. Service can improve and make this a 5 star place. Bring water and utensils. Clean the tables before seating guests. Bring salads before the main courses. Just focus on basics any restaurant should do and this place would be great. read more

This spot was such a great hidden gem. You walk in from the bustling street to a peaceful patio with ocean views. Beer drinkers fear not, they do offer a good selection of craft beer and not just wine. We got the charcuterie board and everything was delicious. My boyfriend got the Italian sandwich and he couldn't stop raving about it. Hope to be back soon! read more

It was my boyfriend and I'd first time coming to We Olive after hearing great things about it from a friend. We both got a Cabernet that had a medium sweetness and light bodied taste making it smooth and enjoyable to drink. We also ordered the dip duo plate. The dip duo came with a hummus dip and a cheese dip. I wish I could get a jar of just the cheese dip. It was that good. The server was attentive and checked up on throughout our visit. This place didn't have too many options for meals. Definitely a place I will be recommending to my friends to grab a drink with a beautiful view. read more
Great service, snacks, wine and music! I tried a lovely spritz, spicy honey burrata flatbread and the dips. The have a small deck that overlooks the ocean but it only seats like 6 people. I got to sit in a partial inside/outside table but it was setup nicely since the seats were side by side and we had the deck/partial ocean view. Lovely place and such a cute olive oil shop. read more

This is the spot to go. The vibe is so peaceful and the bartenders are so knowledgeable and never disappoint. Taylor, Chloe, and Kiara are absolutely amazing and always answer my questions and surprise me with the best drinks. This place is a 10/10. This is the best place to go to weekday or weekend. Also try their pesto pizza. read more

We came here because of our love of wine and noticed there was a little wine bar. Service was great, everyone was kind and chatty to help us figure out what we wanted or what something was. The food and wine were phenomenal, we actually ended up purchasing a bottle of the balsamic because it was the best one we had ever tasted. The environment was chill and had a nice viewing area. We would definitely come back!! read more

This is my new favorite place! The outdoor patio is so cute at sunset and they have heaters for when it's chilly at night. The patio is two levels and has a lot of seating. They also have a few tables inside. Their wine and beer selection is great and their food is delicious! You have to try their fresh warm bread with dipping oil! Our waitress was so nice and attentive and recommended some great wine and food. read more
We had a great time here today. After a day visiting several beaches we decided to stop in La Jolla for a refreshment. What a novel idea -- an olive shop with wine and small plates in the rear. The view was fabulous. We met a small group of people there and chatted for hours while we munched and sipped our selections. The salad and the olives were quite tasty as well as the "refreshments." The staff was friendly and accommodating. They provided a complimentary plate of flavored olive oils and vinegars. We enjoyed a lovely afternoon here. read more

You know I love a good hidden gem! On a busy Saturday night in La Jolla, we were hoping to grab a drink before our 7:30 dinner reservations. Cue We Olive and Wine Bar! We entered and were greeted by their friendly staff. The front of the store is an olive oil bar with different barrel olive oils and balsamic vinegars. They had a lot of different and interesting blends that you could taste before purchasing by the bottle. Their dining section is roped off. After checking our IDs, we were escorted to the back patio. They have a beautiful outdoor area with views of the ocean! We each ordered a glass of wine. Love their selection included many Paso reds. Besides wine, they also have beer as well as different appetizers and food. This is definitely a place we'd like to revisit! Great service and such a fun little hideaway in what can typically be a very busy and crowded area. read more

We came here on a Tuesday afternoon on a whim and it did not disappoint! We got a seat looking out at the ocean and it couldn't have been better weather for a couple glasses of wine and some tapas. Along with the really nice wine and food, the service and atmosphere was great too. We had walked by the place a couple times and we are so glad we stopped in. If you're looking for a relaxing space with a nice view and good wine - do yourself a favor and stop in here. read more

Nice place to try out new wines you might be curious about. I tried the Amador Hills Zin. It's very good on an overcast chilly day. Will definitely return! read more
